I'm wondering if there were any really nice interfaces for ProTools (good DACs, ADCs) on pre-OSX machines that would be available now for pennies? A lot of people say on the 2nd version of the Alesis ADAT machines, the pro 24 bit version, those converters are excellent and can be used over...

Glorious! How? I'm in System 7.1

I can happily report that my Mystic CC has been running 132 mb very happily since I dropped the 128mb stick in a few months ago. That's 128mb stick + 4mb onboard. Actually, since I'm not really taking advantage of the memory, i've considered taking it out because of the ridiculous start-up...

A CC I acquired was dead for quite sometime, and wouldn't turn on at all until I left the thing plugged into the wall with the master power (rear switch) on for two days, then hit keyboard button for soft power. Doesn't sound like that's exactly your problem, but if I were you try unplugging...

Could a major factor for the dramatic rise in prices over specifically the few years be generational interest? I am shocked out how perfectly these posts predict my teenage embrace of the Classic Macintosh; last January I was poking around the internet at night and came across a picture of a...

Sometimes I wonder if it would be plausible to operate a business that did just this and readying similar computers for use by children. I think that my 8-33mhz Macs, which aren't worth a whole lot, could be quite useful if not an adventure in themselves to children, the disabled, or really...

Does spray paint always come off with rubbing alcohol? I have a perfectly functioning Plus that was Mac 'O Lanterned and would like to restore it the original color. Paint thinner has proved nearly useless.

With the tape trick, I just had to get a whole bunch of 1.4 disks and eventually I found one that worked as 800k when taped. Good luck.

If the CC has indeed been off as long as the auctioneer said it was, all the fancy upgrades were probably done expensively at a time way before all the VGA hacks were widespread on the internet and acceptable. I'm assuming that in 93-96, etc. the CCs were still too new (and thus valuable) for...

help? :'(

Good News: 128mb stick worked; Color Classic now reports 135mb of built-in memory. I have virtual memory off. Any use for RAM disk now? Bad news: Gah! Now that I have OT 1.1.1 installed, when I open TCP/IP it says that the previously selected ethertalk is not available, so its reverting to...

The 128mb stick referenced above works correctly and fits in my Color Classic on the LC575 motherboard with 33mhz 68LC040!

Great, I'll give OT a shot. I found this website from apple: http://download.info.apple.com//Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Networking-Communications/Open_Transport/ Which version should I download? I'm capped at 1.3mb because my only way of...

Hi Folks, A few weeks ago, before my Color Classic was Mystical, I started a post at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10285 trying to get it on the internet. Now that the system specifications and error messages have changed, I'm starting a new thread to try and troubleshoot why I can't make a...

Um, I'm really looking for a 128mb module for my Mystic CC so I was about to jump on this but then I realized that this is 60ns. Many sites (including low end mac: http://www.lowendmac.com/500/performa-575.html) list the machine as using 80ns RAM. Is the 80ns a minimum or maximum? How much...

Great, thanks for the responses. I will open up the SE tomorrow and attempt the transplant. I expected that I'd need the SCSI cable from the Classic II, so I've held onto that and I also have the metal mounting bracket (very heavy!) from the Classic II if that'll by any chance fit in the SE...

Today while I was doing some stuffit-expanding on my 5300cs, I went for a game of Maelstrom. I turned it off before I lost a life. That's how horrible the screen is.

Now that I've got a long Torx-15 screw driver, I'm having a lot more fun in the repair shop with my old Macs. I finally got to see why my Classic II was presenting only a Simasi-Mac screen - it looks as if the machine sat with its bottom and back in some sort of liquid; the corner and logic...

wohoo! Thank you so much for the in-depth info. That'll save me a lot of time and frustration.

Fantastic. I'm thinking of converting some of my Seinfled collection into Quicktime files to play on my Mystic CC from an external 2GB SCSI drive. Maybe I should be using this thing called Cinepack? I have a Mystic CC (33mhz, 12mb RAM but no FPU currently) but I haven't done the VGA mod so I'm...
